Finland is one of the northernmost countries in Europe and covers around 338,000km2, of which 10% is water. The population is estimated at 5.3 million in 2009, resulting in a population density of 17.1 people per square kilometre.
Healthcare expenditure has continued its steady growth in the past few years, increasing by 4.6% in 2006 to 13.6 billion euros (US$17.1 billion), with private expenditure accounting for around 24.0% of the total.
Imports of medical devices to Finland increased by a CAGR of 13.2% between 2004 and 2008 to reach US$793.2 million in 2008. Between 2003 and 2007, domestic production fell by 8.8%, but still amounted to 640.3 million euros (US$877.7 million) in 2007. Finland exported US$1,295.2 million of medical devices in 2008, of which 25.6% was dental products and 22.5% was diagnostic imaging apparatus. As a result of these trade figures, Finland is one of only a few countries to have a positive trade balance.
The Finnish market for medical devices is predicted to increase by 7.6% per annum at constant prices to attain a value of US$1,291 million by 2014. The current market size is estimated to be worth US$893 million, equal to US$168 per capita.
However, Finland is likely to be affected by the global economic downturn, with GDP real growth expected to fall to -5.7% in 2009, according to figures from the Economist Intelligence Unit, and beginning to recover by 2011 with a real growth of 1.8%.
Domestic production of medical devices is from many small scale enterprises, focussing on niche markets. The largest domestic producer, Instrumentarium, was de-listed from the Helsinki stock exchange in 2004 and is now a subsidiary of GE.
